[PMID: 39170934 PMCID: PMC11338122 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a lymphoproliferative and granulomatous pulmonary manifestation of primary immune deficiency diseases, notably common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), and is an important contributor of excess morbidity. As with all forms of ILD, the significance of utilizing a multidisciplinary team discussion to enhance diagnostic and treatment confidence of GLILD cannot be overstated. In this review, key clinical, radiological, and pathological features are integrated into a diagnostic algorithm to facilitate a consensus diagnosis. As the evidence for diagnosing and managing patients with GLILD is limited, the viewpoints discussed here are not meant to resolve current controversies. Instead, this review aims to provide a practical framework for diagnosing and evaluating suspected cases and emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when caring for GLILD patients.

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients: a study from Iran. BMC Immunol 2024; 25:45. [PMID: 39014337 PMCID: PMC11251223 DOI: 10.1186/s12865-024-00640-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a prevalent complication in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and is often related to other characteristics such as bronchiectasis and autoimmunity. Because the term ILD encompasses a variety of acute and chronic pulmonary conditions, diagnosis is usually based on imaging features. Histopathology is less available. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the ILD in patients with CVID. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cross-sectional study, sixty CVID patients who referred to the pulmonology and immunodeficiency clinics of Mofid Children's Hospital between 2013 and 2022 were included. The diagnosis of ILD were based on transbronchial lung biopsy (TBB) or clinical and radiological symptoms. The prevalence of ILD in CVID patients was determined. Also, the CVID patients with and without ILD were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings. RESULTS Among all patients, ten patients had ILD (16.6%). In terms of laboratory parameters, there was a significant difference between platelets in the two groups of CVID patients with and without ILD, and the level of platelets was higher in the group of patients with ILD. Moreover, in terms of clinical symptoms, pneumonia, diarrhea and hepatomegaly were significantly different between the two groups and were statistically higher in the group of patients with ILD (P < 0.05). Autoimmunity and malignancy were not significantly different in two groups. There was a significant difference in, hyperinflation between the two groups of CVID patients with and without ILD, and the frequency of, hyperinflation was higher in the patients without ILD (P = 0.040). CONCLUSION Understanding the pathogenesis of ILD plays an essential role in revealing non-infectious pulmonary complications that occur in CVID patients. Increasing efforts to understand ILD not only shed light on its hidden pathogenesis and clinical features, but also enhance our understanding of CVID in a broader sense.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate computed tomography (CT) findings of Granulomatous Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease (GL-ILD) in Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), also in comparison with non-GL-ILD abnormalities, correlating GL-ILD features with functional/immunological parameters and looking for GL-ILD therapy predictive elements. METHODS CT features of 38 GL-ILD and 38 matched non-GL-ILD subjects were retrospectively described. Correlations of GL-ILD features with functional/immunological features were assessed. A logistic regression was performed to find a predictive model of GL-ILD therapeutic decisions. RESULTS Most common GL-ILD CT findings were bronchiectasis, non-perilymphatic nodules, consolidations, Ground Glass Opacities (GGO), bands and enlarged lymphnodes. GL-ILD was usually predominant in lower fields. Multiple small nodules (≤10 mm), consolidations, reticulations and fibrotic ILD are more indicative of GL-ILD. Bronchiectasis, GGO, Reticulations and fibrotic ILD correlated with decreased lung performance. Bronchiectasis, GGO and fibrotic ILD were associated with low IgA levels, whereas high CD4+ T cells percentage was related to GGO. Twenty out of 38 patients underwent GL-ILD therapy. A model combining Marginal Zone (MZ) B cells percentage, IgA levels, lower field consolidations and lymphnodes enlargement showed a good discriminatory capacity with regards to GL-ILD treatment. CONCLUSIONS GL-ILD is a lower field predominant disease, commonly characterized by bronchiectasis, non-perilymphatic small nodules, consolidations, GGO and bands. Multiple small nodules, consolidations, reticulations and fibrotic ILD may suggest the presence of GL-ILD in CVID. MZ B cells percentage, IgA levels at diagnosis, lower field consolidations and mediastinal lymphnodes enlargement may predict the need of a specific GL-ILD therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulomatous and lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (gl-ILD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with common variable immunodeficiency. Corticosteroids are recommended as first-line treatment for gl-ILD, but evidence for their efficacy is lacking. OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the effect of high-dose corticosteroids (≥0.3 mg/kg prednisone equivalent) on gl-ILD, measured by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans, and pulmonary function test (PFT) results. METHODS Patients who had received high-dose corticosteroids but no other immunosuppressive therapy at the time (n = 56) and who underwent repeated HRCT scanning or PFT (n = 39) during the retrospective and/or prospective phase of the Study of Interstitial Lung Disease in Primary Antibody Deficiency (STILPAD) were included in the analysis. Patients without any immunosuppressive treatment were selected as controls (n = 23). HRCT scans were blinded, randomized, and scored using the Hartman score. Differences between the baseline and follow-up HRCT scans and PFT were analyzed. RESULTS Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids significantly improved HRCT scores and forced vital capacity. Carbon monoxide diffusion capacity significantly improved in both groups. Of 18 patients, for whom extended follow-up data was available, 13 achieved a long-term, maintenance therapy independent remission. All patients with relapse were retreated with corticosteroids, but only one-fifth of them responded. Two opportunistic infections were found in the corticosteroid treatment group, while overall infection rate was similar between cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Induction therapy with high-dose corticosteroids improved HRCT scans and PFT results of patients with gl-ILD and achieved long-term remission in 42% of patients. It was not associated with major side effects. Low-dose maintenance therapy provided no benefit and efficacy was poor in relapsing disease.

Abstract
Introduction Common variable immunodeficiency related interstitial lung disease (CVID-ILD, also referred to as GLILD) is generally considered a manifestation of systemic immune dysregulation occurring in up to 20% of people with CVID. There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of CVID-ILD. Aim To systematically review use of diagnostic tests for assessing patients with CVID for possible ILD, and to evaluate their utility and risks. Methods EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched. Papers reporting information on the diagnosis of ILD in patients with CVID were included. Results 58 studies were included. Radiology was the investigation modality most commonly used. HRCT was the most reported test, as abnormal radiology often first raised suspicion of CVID-ILD. Lung biopsy was used in 42 (72%) of studies, and surgical lung biopsy had more conclusive results compared to trans-bronchial biopsy (TBB). Analysis of broncho-alveolar lavage was reported in 24 (41%) studies, primarily to exclude infection. Pulmonary function tests, most commonly gas transfer, were widely used. However, results varied from normal to severely impaired, typically with a restrictive pattern and reduced gas transfer. Conclusion Consensus diagnostic criteria are urgently required to support accurate assessment and monitoring in CVID-ILD. ESID and the ERS e-GLILDnet CRC have initiated a diagnostic and management guideline through international collaboration.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) involves cytokine-driven recruitment and accumulation of inflammatory cells at sites of infection. These activated neutrophils, monocytes, and effector T cells are highly glycolytic and thus appear as [18]F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avid sites on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. FDG-PET-computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is a highly sensitive modality for the detection, monitoring, and assessing response related to COVID-19 disease activity that holds significant clinical relevance. To date, concerns over cost, access, and undue radiation exposure have limited the use of FDG-PET/CT in COVID-19 to a small number of individuals where PET-based interventions were already indicated. In this review, we summarize the existing literature on the use of FDG-PET in the detection and monitoring of COVID-19 with particular focus on several areas of clinical relevance that warrant future research: (1) incidental early detection of subclinical COVID-19 in patients who have undergone FDG-PET for other underlying diseases, (2) standardized quantitative assessment of COVID-19 disease burden at specific points in time, and (3) analysis of FDG-PET/CT data leading to better characterization of COVID-19 pathogenesis. Employing FDG-PET/CT for these purposes may allow for the earliest detection of COVID-19-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE), standardized monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment, and better characterization of the acute and chronic complications of this disease.

Abstract
The nonmetabolizable glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) has shown promising pharmacological activities, including inhibition of cancerous cell growth and N-glycosylation. It has been used as a glycolysis inhibitor and as a potential energy restriction mimetic agent, inhibiting pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Radioisotope derivatives of 2-DG have applications as tracers. Recently, 2-DG has been used as an anti-COVID-19 drug to lower the need for supplemental oxygen. In the present review, various pharmaceutical properties of 2-DG are discussed.

Abstract
Purpose
About 20–30% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) develop granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) as one of several non-infectious complications to their immunodeficiency. The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers that could distinguish GLILD from other non-infectious complications in CVID. Methods We analyzed serum biomarkers related to inflammation, pulmonary epithelium injury, fibrogenesis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and compared three subgroups of CVID: GLILD patients (n = 16), patients with other non-infectious complications (n = 37), and patients with infections only (n = 20). Results We found that GLILD patients had higher levels of sCD25, sTIM-3, IFN-γ, and TNF, reflecting T cell activation and exhaustion, compared to both CVID patients with other inflammatory complications and CVID with infections only. GLILD patients also had higher levels of SP-D and CC16, proteins related to pulmonary epithelium injury, as well as the ECM remodeling marker MMP-7, than patients with other non-infectious complications. Conclusion GLILD patients have elevated serum markers of T cell activation and exhaustion, pulmonary epithelium injury, and ECM remodeling, pointing to potentially important pathways in GLILD pathogenesis, novel targets for therapy, and promising biomarkers for clinical evaluation of these patients.

Clin Exp Allergy 2022; 52:760-773. [PMID: 35353925 DOI: 10.1111/cea.14140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The progression of chronic destructive lung disease in patients with humoral immunodeficiency (ID) and concomitant development of bronchiectasis is difficult to prevent. Lung function tests in these patients typically show bronchial obstruction of the small airways in combination with increased air trapping in the distal airways, which is consistent with small airway dysfunction. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the grade of chronic lower airway inflammation and small airway dysfunction from induced sputum and the corresponding local pro-inflammatory mediator pattern to discriminate patients affected by bronchiectasis-related Small Airway Dysfunction (SAD). METHODS In a prospective design, 22 patients with ID (14 CVID, 3 XLA, 3 hyper-IgM syndrome, 1 hyper-IgE syndrome and low IgG levels due to treatment with rituximab and 1 SCID after BMT and persistent humoral defect) and 21 healthy controls were examined. Lung function, Fraction Expiratory Nitric Oxide (FeNO) and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were compared in subsets of patients with (ID + BE) and without bronchiectasis (ID) pre-stratified using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans and control subjects. RESULTS Analysis of induced sputum showed significantly increased total cell counts and severe neutrophilic inflammation in ID. The concomitant SAD revealed higher total cell numbers compared to ID. Bronchial inflammation in ID is clearly mirrored by pro-inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-6 and CXCL-8, whilst TNF-α revealed a correlation with lung function parameters altered in the context of bronchiectasis-related Small Airway Dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS In spite of immunoglobulin substitution, bronchial inflammation was dominated by neutrophils and was highly increased in patients with ID + BE. Notably, the pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with ID were significantly increased in induced sputum. The context-dependent cytokine pattern in relation to the presence of concomitant bronchiectasis associated with SAD in ID patients could be helpful in delimiting ID patient subgroups and individualizing therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Background Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a distinct clinic-radio-pathological interstitial lung disease (ILD) that develops in 9% to 30% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Often related to extrapulmonary dysimmune disorders, it is associated with long-term lung damage and poorer clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore the potential use of the integration between clinical parameters, laboratory variables, and developed CT scan scoring systems to improve the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive tools. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study of 50 CVID patients was conducted in a referral unit of primary immune deficiencies. Clinical variables including demographics and comorbidities; analytical parameters including immunoglobulin levels, lipid metabolism, and lymphocyte subpopulations; and radiological and lung function test parameters were collected. Baumann’s GLILD score system was externally validated by two observers in high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans. We developed an exploratory predictive model by elastic net and Bayesian regression, assessed its discriminative capacity, and internally validated it using bootstrap resampling. Results Lymphadenopathies (adjusted OR 9.42), splenomegaly (adjusted OR 6.25), Baumann’s GLILD score (adjusted OR 1.56), and CD8+ cell count (adjusted OR 0.9) were included in the model. The larger range of values of the validated Baumann’s GLILD HRCT scoring system gives it greater predictability. Cohen’s κ statistic was 0.832 (95% CI 0.70–0.90), showing high concordance between both observers. The combined model showed a very good discrimination capacity with an internally validated area under the curve (AUC) of 0.969. Conclusion Models integrating clinics, laboratory, and CT scan scoring methods may improve the accuracy of non-invasive diagnosis of GLILD and might even preclude aggressive diagnostic tools such as lung biopsy in selected patients.

Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT characteristics and its prognostic value in the patients with anti-melanoma differentiation associated protein 5 antibody positive (anti-MDA5+) dermatomyositis (DM). Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 26 patients with anti-MDA5+ DM and 43 patients with anti-MDA5 negative (anti-MDA5-) idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) who were examined by 18F-FDG PET/CT from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of multiple organs and other clinical characteristics of the patients were measured and analyzed. Results: Compared with the anti-MDA5- group, the patients in the anti-MDA5+ group showed higher bilateral lung SUVmax (p = 0.029), higher SUVmax of spleen (p = 0.011), and bone marrow (p = 0.048). Significant correlations between the spleen SUVmax and serum ferritin levels (r = 0.398, p < 0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (r = 0.274, p = 0.023), platelet count (r = -0.265, p= 0.028), myositis disease activity assessment score (r = 0.332, p = 0.005), bone marrow SUVmax (r = 0.564, p < 0.001), and bilateral lung SUVmax (r = 0.393, p < 0.001) were observed. Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET/CT was found valuable in quantifying the pulmonary focal inflammation and potentially unveil the distinctive characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms in the patients with anti-MDA5+ DM.
